psychological disorder
Condition affecting mind
A psychological disorder is a pattern of thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that causes significant distress or impairs a person's ability to function in daily life.
The term covers conditions from anxiety and depression to schizophrenia and personality disorders.
Mental disorder and mental illness are near-synonyms, though some prefer psychological disorder as more clinical and less stigmatizing.
The diagnosis of a psychological disorder requires more than occasional symptoms.
